Whether this is because do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR) orders for successfully resuscitated patients with IHCA are variable among different races and ethnicities remains unknown.<h4>Objective</h4>To understand whether American Indian or Alaskan Native, Black, or Hispanic patients have different rates of early DNAR orders compared with White patients, and to examine whether survival differences by race and ethnicity persist among patients with early entry of DNAR orders.<h4>Design, setting, and participants</h4>This prospective cohort study used data from the American Heart Association's Get With the Guidelines - Resuscitation database, which includes IHCAJAMA network opene2553504https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12801091biostudies-literatureRace and Ethnicity and Early Do Not Attempt Resuscitation Orders After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.PMC12801091Perman SMRaymond-King LAmerican Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines – Resuscitation InvestigatorsChan PWan XRaymond-King CCook RD'Onofrio GfalseRace and Ethnicity and Early Do Not Attempt Resuscitation Orders After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.<h4>Importance</h4>Black and Hispanic patients have lower survival rates for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) than White patients.
